Black_Hole

Black Hole A Black hole is a theorized celestial body whose surface gravity is so strong that nothing, including light, can escape from within it's surface. Gravity is the key to a black hole's immense power. The black hole's strong gravity keeps captured material from escaping. For example, if Earth were the same mass it is now but had only one-fourth its present radius, the escape velocity of someone standing on its surface would be twice what it is now. Black holes have a power far greater than our minds can imagine. This report will go into further discussion on these massive holes in space. Now, though, astronomers have uncovered a much better candidate for a black hole in our galaxy. It lies in the constellation Monoceros some three or four thousand light-years away. Monoceros was discovered in 1975, when it emitted a shower of light and x-rays. Observations soon revealed that Monoceros was a binary consisting of an orange dwarf star and a dark companion. Astronomers continue to observe the object and other black holes like it. Despite its name, A0620-00, it is a better candidate for a black hole than Cygnus X-1.(Croswell 30-37) Peters 2 As I said before, gravity black, hole, holes, gravity, star, sheet, rubber, gravitational, ball, one, astronomers, universe, mass, light, escape, collapse, stars, singularity, peters, time, scientists, pressure, matter, galaxy, energy, core, about, massive, however, force, within, velocity, strong, speed, second, radius
